This is the cordless hands-free book light that illuminates the page without tangled wires or an awkward clamp that can interfere with reading. The reversible earpiece hooks comfortably over either ear and moves with the reader's head, precisely targeting its light like a miner's headlamp without constant repositioning. The LED provides clear white illumination for up to 100,000 hours--the equivalent of 11 straight years--with two settings that adjust the brightness from 8 lumens to 4 lumens to adapt to ambient conditions. The compact device does not heat up and contains no breakable filament or tubing, so it can be packed into a purse or suitcase without worry. Includes two CR2025 batteries. 4 1/4" L x 2 1/2" W x 3/4" D. (1 3/4 oz.)

Lightweight & comfortable. problems: have to remove battery cover to complete remove the protection plastic strip in order to turn light on. Most difficult I've ever seen.Light is bright but only covers an area about the size of a dime. So won't disturb anyone next to you, but will require continual movement of whatever you're reading to keep it in the light. Very straining to read this way. Sending it back

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Have already indicated that I think this is just perfect. The over-ear piece is flexible to fit any ear even with glasses. Have shown it to friends who all want one. I will be ordering more.Thanks a million to the inventor.

This light is an awesome invention!!! I love to read in bed and, of course, my husband would like to sleep without the light on. This fantastic little light gives me good illumination and 2 free hands to hold my book. Thank you so much H&S!

I am enjoying using this light in the bathtub. I can read fairly large articles and still see most of the words fairly well. Sometimes it feels loose like it might fall off. I am more comfortable with it now and feel I will get more used to it soon. I think this little light will solve my problem about not having enough light to read large articles. Thank you for producing it and letting me know about it.

I received my first over the ear reading light which proved defective. I contacted the company and made arrangements for an exchange. I was pleasantly surprised by the prompt delivery of my second light which works very well.

I've had this light for less than a week so as far as battery life, I can't say.The light illuminates the written page very well. I like the fact that this product is very light weight and compact. It is very easy to use, only one "off" and "on" button which also serves as a dimmer. So far, I know I will enjoy using the reading light. The light stays placed on the ear.I find it handy when I am searching for something in a dark closet, etc. I would also have it with me in case there was a sudden power outage on the subway or at home. I'm considering purchasing another as a spare.
